New York, United States - February 8, 2019 /PressCable/ —

Well Natural Health, a top resource for individuals looking to become a better version of themselves offering valuable information on mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing, is focusing on a time-tested and proven way to improve overall health via showcasing The Mediterranean Diet. Not only a weight control plan that “overloads the taste buds” with some of the most flavorful foods in the world, the diet has become one of the most sustainable ways to decrease inflammation and live an overall healthier life.

“The Mediterranean Diet is one of the healthiest diets in existence, and we don’t really refer to it as a ‘diet’ as much as a way of life,” explains a Well Natural Health senior staff member. “People living along the Mediterranean coast have been living this lifestyle for centuries; as a result, it has earned the reputation of being a powerful prevention tool, as well.”

According to Well Natural Health, The Mediterranean Diet focuses on the consumption of high quantities of fruits and vegetables, a moderate amount of “good” fats found in olive oil and fatty fish, a good measure of whole grains/seeds/nuts and an occasional helping of poultry and red meat. What’s more, based on a study published in the Annual Review of Public Health in 2013, Well Natural Health found sufficient evidence to support the health benefits of diets “rich in plant sources of protein and fats, fish, whole grains, nuts and fruits/vegetables; that avoid partially-hydrogenated fats and that limit red meat and refined carbohydrates.”

BEIJING — China is launching a nationwide initiative to boost pork production following a price spike blamed on a devastating outbreak of African swine fever.

Pork prices surged 46.7% in August from a year earlier, adding 1.08 percentage points to a 2.8...

BEIJING — For 15 years, Yalqun Rozi skillfully navigated state bureaucracies to publish textbooks that taught classic poems and folk tales to millions of his fellow minority Uighurs in China's far western region of Xinjiang. That all changed three years ago when the ruling Communist Party launched what it says is a campaign against ethnic separatism and religious extremism in Xinjiang. Suddenly even respected public figures like Rozi were being arrested, caught up in a crackdown that critics have said amounts to cultural genocide. An estimated 1 million Uighurs have since been detained in internment camps and prisons across the...

HONG KONG — Hong Kong protesters threw bricks and gasoline bombs at police, who responded with tear gas, as chaotic scenes returned to the summer-long anti-government protests on Saturday for the first time in nearly two weeks. Hundreds of black-clad protesters armed with bamboo poles and baseball bats fought with police officers wielding batons on a main road following a march against "smart lampposts" that was sparked by surveillance fears. The chaotic scenes unfolded outside a police station and a nearby shopping mall as officers in riot gear faced off with protesters who set up makeshift street barricades. The violence...

BEIJING — China issued its top warning for coastal areas of Zhejiang province Friday ahead of a strong typhoon expected to bring heavy rain and winds within hours.

Parts of northern Taiwan closed offices and suspended classes at schools on Friday as the storm passed northeast of the island. The same area was hit by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake Thursday that caused minor damage but no deaths or injuries. The red alert China issued...

HONG KONG — Hong Kong is seeking to reassure visitors to the city after several countries issued travel safety warnings related to ongoing prod-democracy protests. An email attributed to an unidentified government spokesman conceded recent road blockages and confrontations between police and protesters had caused inconveniences, but said they were confined to limited areas. It said the government and the travel industry were working to minimize disruptions to visitors. The government on Thursday said tourist arrivals dropped 26% at the end of last month compared to last year and were continuing to fall in August. Commerce Secretary Edward Yau Tang-wah...
